In game vote every important contest happens
Add an ingame spectator mode to that so everyone can follow the matches ingame isntead of Twitch and the number of spectators would skyrocket. Something like what we had in GW1.
Why?
I think the OP is talking about an old GW1 system in which people would guess who would win PvP tournaments. If you chose the winner, you’d get (if I recall correctly) faction points, which in turn, could be exchanged for something of value, e.g. Zaishen keys (i.e. the GW1 equivalent of champ bags). The exact mechanics aren’t important, the main elements were:
- Guess the tournament winners, with each player getting one free guess (and allowing the purchase of extra guesses).
- Correct guesses are rewarded, using some sort of in-game currency.
It could be a fun (and relatively cheap) way to generate additional community interest in the PvP tournaments of GW2. Seems to me it would also fall under the e-sports=cheap-markets-for-GW2 strategy, meaning it would end up having relatively little impact on the game itself.
Interesting suggestion, OP (even if I had trouble understanding what you meant at first).

Thanks, that is exatly what I meant to say. Except I would not alow extra quesses, rather quessing on each part of tournament: q, semi-finals, final or all matches in semi-finals and final. Maybe additionaly player/s with the highest amount of points and kills.
@Bunji Yep, I tough: live and recorded matches only from tournaments in game to watch would be ok, they would have players in game and watching their esports in the same time.
For other matches existing spec mod is enough and recording it would just make much garbage data.
Whatever to would decide it will be nice if they implement it smootlhy.
